repair permissions on a regular basis
The problem, though, is that if a developer has an installer or application that goofs up permissions, you're much more likely to see this on Mac OS X than you would on UNIX, IMHO. Consider the source of many of the applications you buy. With UNIX, you're typically buying from enterprise developers. On Mac OS X, there's a good chance you're buying apps from a 22-year-old developer sitting in his underwear coding for extra beer money. Definitely a difference in terms of bug checking.
Re: repair permissions on a regular basis
The Apple Installer / PackageMaker tools make it perhaps easier than it should be to create a package which will install and mess up permissions. It *looks* easy enough to create an installer package--hey, just fill in these fields!--but there are a lot of gotchas that aren't apparent through that esay interface. There are a number of good tutorials on the web outlining these gotchas, and Apple's documentation looks very thorough--but it seems so easy that many may not read the docs or search for the tutorials. |
